Wow, subby, sensationalize much? The plants are offline, not destroyed.

And I was just used to only getting 93% of the stated capacity.

In other news - hard drives are still made.

People still download porn? Why would you do that when there's at least 10 sites like pornhub where you can get 1000s of clips available even if all you need is a 3 minute one.

hmm, so much for my Black Friday plans.... has NewEgg jacked up prices yet?

btw the reason hard drive demand stays high isn't video downloads, it's data miners.

I'd let you watch, I would invite you,
But the places I buy hard drives from would not excite you.

HD pr0n.
And, yes HD pr0n is better than SD pr0n.

so, no effect on SSDs then?

Because sometimes pornhub removes a video? Duh?

Also, some of us pay for memberships to sites to stuff you can't find consistently, or don't want to risk getting sued.

Actually... due to a little monkeying by the IEC... you are getting exactly what they say you are getting.

The SI standard prefixes are now 'corrected' to base 10.

1 Kilobyte (KB) - 1000 bytes (B)
1 Megabyte (MB) - 1,000 KB - 1,000,000 B
1 Gigabyte (GB) - 1,000 MB - 1,000,000 KB - 1,000,000,000 B
etc...

The new prefixes are kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, etc.
1 Kibibyte (KiB) - 1024 B (2¹⁰⁾
1 Mebibyte (MiB) - 1024 KiB - 1048576 B (2²⁰)
1 Gibibyte (GiB) - 1024 MiB - 1048576 KiB - 1073741824 B (2³⁰)
etc...

So yeah, that's unfortunately how it is now.

I can buy a burger at 5 Guys but sometimes I just want a steak.

You can get a good look at a steak by sticking your head up a butcher's ass....

So you better go back to your best buys, your temples, your massage parlors....

The factories aren't destroyed, they knew the water was coming and had time to prepare. It's not like a tsunami where everything is suddenly smashed to pieces, the factories just have standing water in them. They'll be operational in a few months.

Was ot a Seagate factory?

Good point subby. The problem with the internet is that it's made my tastes very specific. One day I might want to watch interracial midget S&M bukkake and the next day I might want asian lesbian POV foodplay but only foods that start with the letter Q. My house might be a mess, but my porn collection is meticulously organized down to the nth subfolder so I can always match my fap to my mood.
